Athlete Program
TAKE THE STAGE - ROUND 2, 2026
The APS Athlete Program isn't just about posing. It's about becoming the kind of athlete who walks onto that stage knowing they've done everything right.
Round 2, 2026 is open with four coaches, three programs, and for the first time ever, it’s open to male athletes.
Meet Your Coaches
When you apply, you'll choose the coach you want to work with. Here's who's waiting for you.
Coach Becc
APS FOUNDER & HEAD COACH
Becc started competing in 2014 and built APS from the ground up — because she saw too many athletes walking on stage with cookie-cutter routines, and knew there had to be a better way.
Since then, she's collected multiple golds at the World Cup and Natural Olympia, competed at the Amateur Olympia, and earned medals across IFBB, ICN, and INBA/PNBA. As a fully qualified NPC IFBB Pro League Judge and creator of the Best Bikini Poser Award, she knows exactly what the judges are looking for — because she is one.
She prides herself on individual, tailored routines and making sure every athlete she coaches feels completely ready when they step on stage. Fair warning: she will be waving and smiling like a mad-woman from the audience on your show day.
Coach Marijana
Marijana earned her FMG Bikini Pro card in 2016 and hasn't stopped since. She's the FMG Thailand Bikini 45+ champion and FMG Bikini Pro 45+ World Champion — with nearly a decade of coaching some of the most competitive athletes on the circuit.
Known for her precision, passion, and empowering coaching style, Marijana believes that strength, grace, and determination only grow with experience. She's here to help you master a personalised routine that's perfectly suited to your body — from the comparison round to choreographed posing, stage presence, and poise.
With Marijana in your corner, you'll feel unstoppable on stage.
APS COACH — FMG BIKINI PRO WORLD CHAMPION
Coach Mel
APS COACH — IFBB BIKINI PRO
Mel is an IFBB Bikini Pro with 6+ years in the bodybuilding industry, and she brings every bit of that experience to the athletes she coaches in Sydney.
She works with everyone from first-timers to seasoned competitors, specialising in IFBB bikini, NBA bikini, and ICN bikini, fitness and sports. What sets Mel apart is the full picture — she's a wealth of knowledge across training, nutrition, posing, and presentation.
You're not just getting a posing coach. You're getting someone who understands the entire journey — and who will make sure every part of your presentation is exactly where it needs to be when it counts.

The Program Just Got Bigger
For the first time in the history of the APS Athlete Program, we're opening our doors to male athletes.
It took the right coach to make it happen. Introducing Ajay — APS's first male posing coach to be available on the program, and the reason Round 2, 2026 is a different kind of round.
Coach Ajay
Ajay's story starts in 2020 — a junior competitor, 60kg of weight loss behind him, and a love for bodybuilding that was only just beginning. In October 2025, he won his Classic Physique Pro card. Two weeks later, he stepped on stage at the 2025 Vegas Natural Olympia.
As a Diagnostic Radiographer, online coach, and 1:1 posing coach, Ajay knows what it takes to perform at the highest level while balancing a full life outside the sport. He works with male competitors to help them truly maximise their performance and efforts on stage.
"As an athlete that has a deep passion for the art of posing I cannot put a greater emphasis on its importance in showcasing the best version of one's physique, and ultimately its impact on placings and competitiveness in the sport of bodybuilding."
— Ajay
Ajay coaches male athletes across all federations and divisions.
